r7000 giving only hald of 1gbps fiber connection

[miltonjackson]

Hi guys, i am at the end of the road.

I have a 1gb full duplex fiber line. I had this with the same provider at my 2 previous adresses. 

Now i moved to a new location, and my provider requires now:

- login

- password

- Vlan tagging

- and DNS servers (ip provided by provider)

they did not have this before and back then it was just plug and play and i got full 940mbps up/down.

Since the new login, i max out at about 420mbps up/down.

When i plug into the fiber converter, i get full speed, so its deffinitly the r7000.

I tried 10 different firmwares from newest to oldest and inbetween, dozens of factory resets.

I disabled basically everything from Qos, access/parent controll etc including all wifi

i tried different cables always the same...

any ideas?

Well i fixed my Problem by Flashing FreshTomate on my r7000, was a hassle untill i got everything up and running. I am maxing out at 900ish, so not 100% but ill take that over the OEM 450. Honestly **bleep** Netgear for not adding the simple solution to enable CTF.
